OPI~Pirates of the Caribbean

Today I have 3 pretty colors and a the silver shatter from the OPI~Pirates of the Caribbean collection that came out not too long ago.  I picked up the polishes a while ago and I have been waiting for some store anywhere to get the silver shatter in and finally I found it a few weeks ago.  The polish went on very nice as most OPI's do and the shatter looks so cool!  I love the silver shatter.

Mermaid's Tears, also know as my favorite, is a beautiful mint green creme.

 Steady as She Rose is a pretty light pinkish lilac creme.

Skull & Glossbone is a putty or light beige creme.  I really like this color too and I think it's a perfect neutral.

With Silver Shatter.

Essie~Nice is Nice & Coat Azure

Spring 2011 is in full force and the polish collections are gorgeous!  French Affair by Essie is a beautiful collection of soft, classy colors that do not disappoint.  There are 6 colors in French Affair and today, I have two to share with you.  Nice is Nice and Coat Azure are perfect for Spring and would make great addititions to everyones polish collections.

Nice is Nice is a soft pale lilac creme.  It went on smooth and covered completely with the second coat. 

(sorry about the fuzz in the polish on my first nail-didn't notice it when I was swatching)

Coat Azure, how beautiful is this one?  A bright blue with just a touch of shimmer.  Beautiful!

The other 4 colors are neutrals and a pale pink.  All six are well worth the hunt :)

Sally Hansen~Xtreme Wear

Today I have a quick post for you lovely nail polish lovers.  I have a sick kid home today and one on the verge at school.  But I have 2 pretty Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear colors to share with you, Mystic Lilac and Gunmetal.

Mystic Lilac is a really popular color and I actually bought it a little while ago.  I have read that it is now a hard to find.  I'm not really sure why it's so popular, but to each his own.  It is a pale lilac base with a hint of teal green shimmer.

Gunmetal is a steel blue shimmer, nearly a frost.  It went on really well and I didn't have any issues with streaking.

I found these at CVS, but I have seen them at Walmart and Target also.

Orly Plastix

Sally's has Orly on sale this month, 2 for $10!  I picked up a couple of the Plastix collection that recently came out.  There are four colors in this collection and they all have a slightly matte finish.  I have to say this is probably my favorite finish of all the alternative(matte, suede, plastix) finishes.

Viridian Vinyl is a pretty turquoise creme.

Purple Pleather is a dark lilac creme.

I really like the finish and these two colors.  I did learn that the Plastix dries a lot slower than the suede and matte finishes.  What do you think, do you like this alterative to the matte finish or are you a matte girl?  Also, I didn't see any instructions for this polish, I used a base coat and no top coat, as that would change the finish and defeat the Plastix finish.  Thanks for looking!

OPI Swiss

OPI has released their Fall/Winter 2010 collection and it is gorgeous!  It is made up of 12 stunning polishes that do not dissapoint.  Right now I have half of the collection because everywhere keeps selling out of them!  Today I have The Color to Watch and Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous.  The opi Swiss Collection is available now at you favorite place to buy OPI.

The Color To Watch is a perfect name for this polish.  It is a sheer lilac duo chrome! 

Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous is a steel grey base full of super sparkly silver and grey micro glitter.

American Apparel

Happy June 1, 2010!  Can you believe the year is half over? Hope you all had a great weekend-mine was wonderful.  It finally reached 85 degrees!  We are usually well over 90 degrees by now.  We have had a very unusual spring and I am ready for the warm, sunny weather.  Anyways, I have some new polishes to share :)
American Apparel has come out with 5 new polishes and a base/top coat.  I have 4 of the polishes to show you guys, Butter, Summer Peach, L'Esprit, and Malibu Green.  I was very impressed with the AA polish that I tried in the past and I was really excited to try these new polishes.  I don't really like the Butter and Summer Peach.  They went on a little streaky, a little thick.  I am not a big fan of the pale cremes in the first place and I wish I had chose different colors.  On the other hand, L'Esprit and Malibu Green are wonderful!  They went on smooth and I just love these two colors.  You can find American Apparel polishes at their website or in their stores.  (oh gosh, my cuticles are awful!  Sorry!)

Butter is a pale yellow creme.

Summer Peach is a pale peach creme.

L'Esprit is a lilac creme, slightly on the grey side.

Malibu Green is my favorite of the 4.  It is a beautiful teal green creme.

Essie~Art of Spring

Today I have 2 beautiful colors from the Essie Art of Spring 2010 collection.  Lilacism and Red Nouveau are two must haves of the season.  Lilacism is a stunning pale lilac creme.  It went on effortlessly with no streaking and wasn't chalky at all.

Red Nouveau is a warm red creme, perfect for Springtime toes!
